Hao Hao's booth has no shortage of customers, because the smell of things is too strong, so those hungry people can't help but come with steps.

Hao Hao heard someone ask for five-spiced braised pork inside, saying that it was for his mother to eat, and a mother bought meat buns for her daughter, although she felt reluctant from her tone, she still spent two cents and a half to buy food for her daughter.

Hao Hao looked down at the baby in his arms, and he could also understand the mother's feelings, because of this little thing, she was willing to sacrifice her life, let alone a little food.

"It's finally done." Hao Hao burped Britney and held her in his arms.

Watching her look around.

"Daddy sold out?" Hao Hao looked at the things in the glass cabinet and couldn't help but ask.

"Well, the last bit of spicy braised pork was taken away by a young man." Xu Laohan smiled and handed over the money.

"Dad, it's early to see the time, if you want to go shopping, go shopping, and we'll go home in a while." Hao saw that all the things he had prepared were sold, and then looked at the sidewalks coming and going on the street.

"No, I don't lack anything, let's pack up and go home, I'm afraid that the livestock at home will be hungry." Xu Laohan hurriedly refused, Hao Hao bought for himself some time ago and it was useless, not to mention food, there was no shortage at home, he was worried about the livestock at home, and he didn't have the heart to shop.

"Okay." Hao Hao didn't have anything he wanted, so he helped clean it up, hugged the baby and gave Erhei some broth, and he and Xu Laohan squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty.

After finally coming out, she was sweating, looking at her giggling daughter, and couldn't help but tap her nose.

"Dad, there are fewer people here, let's rush home." Hao Hao finished teasing and looked at the old man Xu who was pulling the cow in front of him.

"Hmm." Xu Laohan saw that there were not many people on the road, so he climbed into the car, and watched Hao Hao sit down, and he waved a bullwhip.

"Smack" with a crisp sound.

The scalper mooed, and the mobile food truck set off.

Hao Hao sat in the car, looking at the gradually receding scene, and couldn't help but think about today's scene.

There are many people who buy meat and steamed buns for breakfast, and the pickled vegetables and mixed mixes are bought by those who are a little more generous, and it seems that she is a little unsafe to try selling it for the first time.

It is not as good as braised pork and other supplements, and it is mainly based on steaming things such as breakfast. After the coldest days, she changed to other things to adapt to the change of seasons.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that this was a good idea. At the same time, he changed his mind to do business by himself and pulled Xu Laohan as a helper. It is better to find someone to help with the feeding of the livestock at home.

"Dad, you see that business is good, why don't you give me a hand?"

"I'm an old man, what can I do for you?" Xu Laohan took a puff of dry flue.

"You see, with a busy scene like today, I can't handle it at all. The cattle feed the grass, pour the water and no one cares, I can't spare things for people, and sometimes there are too many people to work, and the manpower is even more insufficient. Dad, you can help me do it, and I won't be too busy. Hao Hao said.

"What about the livestock?" Xu Laohan shook the bullwhip again.

"No, find someone, let me take care of it, how about we give someone five yuan a month?" Hao Hao said.

"Five dollars is a bit much." Xu Laohan said.

"Dad, how much do you think is appropriate?" Hao Hao asked again.

"Four yuan, our family only has a dozen sheep, a few pigs, plus two dogs, it won't take long to feed the grass and pour water, four yuan is enough." Xu Laohan spoke.

Hao Hao, according to the experience of these days, in terms of people's daily wages now, those who go out to work, those bricklayers who are good at craftsmanship are only four yuan a day, and his family's work is not a lot of four yuan a month.

"Dad, have you thought of a good candidate?" When Hao Hao heard this, Xu Laohan promised himself.

"Think about it, there is a bachelor in our village, who is nearly sixty years old this year, and has no children or daughters, so this job will be given to him. I know him well, and he's an honest guy. However, in addition to giving him four yuan a month, he bought something for him during the New Year's holidays, made a pair of shoes, and pulled a piece of clothing. Old man Xu looked back at Hao Hao.

"Okay, that's fine." Hao Hao is not a stingy person, four yuan a month is not high for her, but it is okay for people who are not able to work. Just wait until your life is better in the future and then give him a salary increase.

"I'll leave this matter to Dad." Hao Hao said again.

"I'll go to him when I get back." Old man Xu took a beautiful breath and rushed home with a bullwhip.

Bends, mountains, twists and turns, they saw the white mountain village in the distance.

"I'm finally home." Hao Hao couldn't help but sigh.

"This old arm and leg is quite good." Xu Laohan said with a smile.

"Dad, you're not old, and with the recent good food, your body will naturally be healthy." Hao said with a smile

"Old, old. I'm in my sixties, and I'll have to be waiting for someone in a few years, so I'll do more for you while I can still run. Xu Laohan was very happy in his heart, but he still said so.

"Dad, don't think about it, relax, when our conditions are good, I will take you to the city, we will buy a house, and then find someone to serve you." Make sure that your old age is comfortable and beautiful. Hao Hao continued to be relieved.

"When I go to the city, I have to be served by someone like those who are officials, and I don't have this blessing." Xu Laohan immediately spoke out when he heard this, he had been a poor farmer all his life, and he didn't dare to ask someone to serve him like the cadres in the city.

"When is this coming, the officials, the peasants don't all have one mouth and two legs, it's just that they are public families, and in the final analysis, they still serve us farmers." Hao Hao is a modern person after all, and some of his ideas are much more avant-garde than those here.

"You woman don't dare to talk nonsense, be careful that people sue you." Xu Laohan hurriedly said, although the policy has changed, who can guarantee that it will always be like this. If you go back to the previous years, when the daughter-in-law's words were heard, I am afraid that he would be dragged out to criticize them, but he could stay away from them, and he would be terrified to hear them.

"Dad, it's okay, just the two of us, according to the current situation in the village, you see that everyone is rushing forward with all their strength, I think the situation is very good. Dad, the terrible decade you feared won't come again. Hao Hao continued.

"But I'm scared, haven't you seen that in those years, raising something at home would say that it was taking the capitalist road, let alone talking like this." When Xu Laohan talked about it, his tone was trembling, and it is conceivable what these simple farmers were scared of in those ten years.

"It's okay Dad, don't worry, now that the national policy is so good, and the leader above is a capable person, we won't live like that again." Hao Hao persevered, instilled correct thoughts in Xu Laohan, and hoped that he could live a good life.

The two talked all the way, and during the process, they met a few people in the village, Xu Laohan said hello and continued to catch the car.

It was past two o'clock in the afternoon when the two returned home.

When Da Hei saw Hao Hao and others going home, he immediately came out of the house and rushed over.

"Big black be careful and sweet." Hao Hao said and leaned sideways to reduce the impact, and sure enough, when Da Hei heard it, he immediately slowed down, ran to Hao Hao's side, hugged her thighs, and rubbed affectionately.

"Woman, hurry up and enter the house, be careful of the frozen baby." Xu Laohan entered the house, reminded Hao Hao as soon as possible, and then helped move things.

"Dad, you don't need to take those, I'll get it after dinner. If you look at the livestock at home, you guess they're hungry. Hao Hao stopped, these things are not needed at the moment, they have been busy all morning, and now they should go back to warm up.

"Okay, I'll go add grass now." Xu Laohan went straight to the sheepfold, he looked down, there was still some grass left to eat in the morning, the water was gone, it seemed that he was thirsty.

Add water, add some forage, and be busy for half an hour before the livestock at home can settle down.

He went back to the house and drank a sip of water before he had time to rest.

Hao Hao went into the house to coax his daughter to sleep, and before he could rest, he got up to cook.

If it weren't for the spring water, she would have been tired and would have fallen down.

For lunch and afternoon, boil directly with spring water, have meat at home, directly fry a potato and meat piece, and then have a bowl of mixed noodles, and the energy consumed in the morning will be replenished.

Snow began to fall outside, thumb-sized snowflakes falling from the sky and falling on the ridges, rooftops, and hillsides. People chatting, burning kangs, and feeding livestock one after another hurried towards their homes.

At this time, the whole small mountain village is filled with a faint gray smoke, curling into the air and fluttering in the wind.

"Stab", the meat and the hot oil met, and the whole room was filled with a smell of meat, Hao Hao wiped the beads of sweat, and looked at the daughter on the kang while frying.

Fortunately, it was not smoked, and the big and small two black gathered around the pot table, wagging their tails in a hurry.

"It'll be fine in a while, I'll make you the broth and eat it." Hao Hao said to the two big dogs around him.

In the past six months, they have grown very fast, and now they are standing upright, all up to their chests, and their hair is shiny, and they are not ordinary at first glance.

These two dogs have helped me a lot, usually delivering food, sometimes adding water, or herding cattle and sheep, and driving pigs.

Xu Laohan loves them very much, and sometimes rewards them with a big meal, for which the big and small Erhei will work harder.

Lunch was simple and nutritious, Hao Hao finished delivering food to Xu Laohan and returned to his house to enjoy it slowly.

Hao Hao never expected that her food would be so popular, and those miners who had eaten her food gathered in their dormitories to talk about their feelings.

"Xu Hai, where did you buy the braised pork today, it tastes so good." A sturdy black man asked.

"Right outside the mine on a food truck, do you like to eat?" Xu Hai was holding a book, reading it with relish, and occasionally looked up and replied.

"Well, I don't know if the stall owner will come tomorrow, if I come, I will buy a few more catties, it just so happens that I have to take a vacation in the past two days, and I will bring it back to my father and mother to eat." The black man smiled, he is a well-known filial son, he will bring a copy of everything to his parents, today I tasted Hao Hao's braised pork, I think it tastes good, and there is a faint fragrance after eating, he thinks he should buy some for his parents. Although his salary is not very high, he still has the money to buy something for his parents.

"I want to buy some more meat buns, this meat and wheat flavor, mixed with the meat taste is particularly attractive, very delicious. Don't know how the stall owner does it? Another thin man said, he is a foodie, his family used to be poor, everything was picked and eaten, in the past few years, he went to the mine, became a miner, the salary is good, and the meat is constant.

If you didn't think about it before, now you can buy what you like with a little money. Today, I met Hao Hao out of the stall, ate the things on her stall, and felt that the first half of my life was in vain.
